    If you have an NA be careful as the bearings prior

    to March 1990 are different to those afterwards. The bearings prior to that date don't have the outrigger on them. After that date they look like the TT ones with the outrigger but they are slightly smaller than the TT ones. Hope this helps.

    missunderstanding

    I know they come in a hub, that is what I have now, but it is a TT one. I have already ordered one from coz, but thanks anyway.

    bringing back old thread here, I assume these don't come with the hub assembly?

    I know that the original question goes back some time, but I am having a devil of a job trying to locate a supplier of rear wheel bearings for my '89 300 ZX Twin Turbo - even with the Nachi bearing numbers. A Nissan dealership can supply these ex-Melbourne for $363.55 EACH. Is there anybody out there who can help me out? I love this car but it would be nice if I could own it without having to renegotiate my mortgage.

    These would have to be the most stupidly priced part on the car, its a bloody bearing for Christs sake, currently $380AU ($240US) plus freight from Coz.

    Besides the plastic heater tap for $110 :(

    I tried for a couple of months calling places all over Australia but gave up in the end, bought em from Nissan through a mechanic for $300 each.

    Going to have to go through Nissan Dealership. Thank you all for responding. I'm now going to see my Bank Manager about renegotiating my house loan :)

    Bearings arrived from Sydney yesterday. My mechanic (Captain Bligh - he gets paid in rum) successfully installed them after work. Life's good. Ports, thanks for the information, cos I was going nuts trying myself.
